SHADOWGUN for iPad Review

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [2]

While this certainly isn’t the first time we’ve had a look at SHADOWGUN – as it does sit pretty on more than one platform, it’s definitely time we got down to business with a full fledged review for the iPad. This game is a third-person shooter game in which you control John Slade, an infamous bounty hunter hired to take out a hoard of devilish mutants and robots under the high-class title of SHADOWGUN. In this version of the game, you’re working through a planet full of enemies with any weapon you can find, your best bet being a machine gun or your trusty shotgun for good luck – and with the new iPad with Retina quality display on your side, (reviewed in full here), you’ve got nothing holding you back.

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [19]

Apple has officially commented on concerns that the new iPad gets overly hot in use, telling buyers of the tablet that it operates "well within" the company's thermal specifications and not to worry. Complaints about the hot-running third-gen slate began shortly after it went on sale last Friday, with some users claiming the lower back corners of the iPad were uncomfortable to the touch. Still, Apple maintains that there's no issue. Read The Full Story

Apple on track for 12m new iPad sales in March alone says analyst

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [1]

Apple could be on course to sell 12 million new iPads by the end of the quarter, analysts have predicted, with the strong early sales in the opening weekend leading to ambitious estimates for the coming weeks. "Apple has sold ~750,000 new iPads per day since launch on Friday" UBS analyst Maynard Um wrote in an investor note today, AllThingsD reports, going on to suggest that at such a rate 12m sales aren't out of the question. However, Um also warns that there could still be a fly in Apple's ointment.

iPad Retina Display squashes rivals (but it’s not perfect)

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [6]

The new iPad's Retina Display comfortably out-performs the displays on the current crop of tablets and smartphones, according to new research, though there remains room for improvement in battery life, brightness and more. The third-gen iPad's 2048 x 1536 panel bests rivals for sharpness, color saturation and accuracy, picture quality, and gray scale, according to DisplayMate's testing, and in fact outperforms the screens on most HDTVs, notebooks and monitors. However, it's not all good news. Read The Full Story

New iPad online availability improves

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [1]

Shipping delays for online orders of Apple's new iPad have dropped, with estimates falling to 1-2 weeks from the point of order. The new third-gen tablet had until this morning been listed as carrying a 2-3 week delay at the official Apple Store, after strong demand from pre-orders opening on March 16 saw stocks constrained. In the US, however, all WiFi and WiFi + 4G models are now down to 1-2 weeks, though international availability varies. Read The Full Story

A sell-out iPad would’ve been an Apple failure

, Mar 19th 2012 Discuss [29]

Apple’s three million new iPad sales in the opening weekend are impressive but not particularly surprising; what the company has really demonstrated with the third-generation tablet isn’t that it can create a coveted product, but that it can now deliver in bulk. Stock shortages have plagued Apple launches since the original iPhone, the company seemingly unable to meet demand for its high-profile phones and tablets. In fact, it’s become a measure of success for stores to sell out and lines to snake outside for days and weeks as would-be owners queue desperately for the rationed hardware. Still, while “sell-out success” makes for good press hyperbole, turning customers away empty-handed isn’t best for business. With the new iPad, though, Apple showed that the supply chain just got serious.

There’s nothing quite like taking your rage and insane desires to crash cars into masses of people, walls, other cars, and the river in the original Grand Theft Auto III, and RockStar Games have finally brought it to the mobile platform. Actually technically they brought it to the mobile platform several weeks ago, but playing this game on the new iPad has revealed a brand new layer of excellence for your humble narrator, and while the desire to purchase the game was there at the start, the desire to play the game 24 hours a day has just reared its ugly head now thanks to the iPad’s new Retina-quality display.
